Guild S-300 returns 50 years after it was deemed too radical

Guild has revived its S-300 electric guitar, 50 years after the unsung offset was deemed too radical for its time.

First introduced in 1977 and – by today’s standards, looking like a cross between a Gretsch Electromatic CVT and a Surfcaster – it had a short production run, as what Guild now accepts was a “radical” design failed to land.
